Appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors:
Dear Shareholders,
with the approval of the financial statements at December 31, 2024, the mandate of the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Company, appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 19, 2022, concludes. Consequently, you shall be called at the next Shareholders' Meeting to: (5.1) appoint three Statutory Auditors and two Alternate Auditors and the Chairperson for the years 2025-2027 and (5.2) determine the fees due to the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Statutory Auditors.
In accordance with Article 17 of the By-Laws (available on the website http://www.basicnet.com/contenuti/gruppo/statuto.asp?menuSelectedID=2c):
The lists should be drawn up so as to ensure that the resulting Board of Statutory Auditors complies with the regulatory-established minimum gender quotas (the under-represented gender must constitute at least two-fifths of the Board of Statutory Auditors).
The lists of candidates should be filed at the registered office of the Company, or sent by fax to +39 0112617354, or to the certified e-mail address [email protected], accompanied by the relative documentation, by the twenty-fifth day before the day of the Shareholders' Meeting, i.e. March 23, 2025, by shareholders who, alone or together with other shareholders, hold at least 4.5% of the share capital (as established by Consob through its Executive Resolution No. 123 of January 28, 2025).
The holding, at the presentation date of the list, should be corroborated by the relevant communications produced by the filing intermediary and sent by e-mail to [email protected], also subsequent to filing, although by the deadline for the publication of lists by the Issuer, therefore March 27, 2025.
In the event that only one list is filed by March 23, 2025, or only related lists in accordance with the applicable regulation, further lists may be presented until March 26, 2025, with the minimum percentage for the presentation of such lists reduced to 2.25% of the share capital.
Each shareholder, in addition to shareholders belonging to the same group, in accordance with Article 2359 of the Civil Code and the parties belonging to, also through subsidiaries, a shareholders' agreement in accordance with Article 122 of Legislative Decree No. 58/98 (CFA), may not present, nor through nominees of trust companies, more than one list. In the case of violation no consideration is taken of the vote of the shareholder for any list

presented. Each shareholder may vote for only one list.
The lists should be accompanied by exhaustive disclosure on the personal and professional background of the candidates, with indication of the presenting shareholders and the overall share capital holding, in addition to the declaration of shareholders other than those who hold, also jointly, a controlling or relative majority holding, declaring the absence of connecting relationships as per the applicable regulations, with these latter, or where in existence, the reasons why such are considered relevant.
According to the deadlines and means set out above, together with each list, a declaration in which the individual candidates accept their candidature, must be filed, stating in good faith the absence of reasons for ineligibility and incompatibility and the existence of the requisites for the respective positions, in addition to information on directorships held in other companies.
Each candidate may be presented on only one list at the risk of being declared ineligible.
Lists presented that do not comply with all of the above formalities are considered as not presented.
Finally, shareholders presenting a "Minority List" should comply with the recommendations of Consob under Communication No. DEM/9017893 - Appointment of members of the Administration and Control Boards - of February 26, 2009.
Each shareholder may vote for only one list.
The procedure for electing Statutory Auditors is as follows:
The Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors is the first candidate indicated on the list that obtained the second highest number of votes.
In the case of parity of votes between lists, the candidates from the list having a higher equity investment are elected or, subordinately, with the greater number of shareholders.
In the case of presentation of only one list, all Statutory Auditors will be taken from that list, with the Chairperson the first listed on the list.
Subject to the incompatibilities under the applicable legal provisions, those not considered of good standing and professionalism as per Ministry of Justice Decree No. 162 of March 30, 2000 may not be appointed to the Board of Statutory Auditors, as also stated in the By-Laws. For the application of this decree and as established by Article 17 of the By-Laws, the matters strictly relating to company operations and the sectors closely linked to that in which the Company operates are:
The areas closely related to the Company's sector are:

In addition, those who do not comply with the limit upon the cumulative number of administration and control positions established by the applicable legal and regulatory provisions may not be appointed to the Board of Statutory Auditors (Article 144-duodecies and subsequent of the Issuers' Regulation).
At the meeting of November 13, 2018, the Board of Directors considered that the application of the regulatory provisions and the By-Law provisions ensure a sufficiently diverse range of profiles on the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors and therefore decided not to adopt additional diversity policies than those required by law or recommended by the Self-Governance Code.
With regards to that outlined above, the Shareholders' Meeting is therefore called to appoint the Board of Statutory Auditors and its Chairperson for the years 2025-2026-2027.
With regards to the establishment of the remuneration of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, in accordance with Article 2402 of the Civil Code, such will be established by the Shareholders' Meeting on its appointment and for the entire mandate. You are therefore invited, on the basis of the proposals which may be drawn up by Shareholders (even during the Shareholders' Meeting itself), to establish the remuneration of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
